A fabulous holiday destination

We have now spent our third year in a villa in Parque de Floresta and we love it. It was the first time we stayed in Casa Azul and we would highly recommend it. The villa has a great location with lovely views and directly overlooks the large pool area. The facilities are excellent and the amount of space makes it feel like a home from home.

It was clean, tidy and well-maintained and our contact Victoria at Sun and Golf Holidays couldn't have been more helpful. We will definitely be back!!

There are wonderful villages and towns nearby and we travelled to all of them. For beaches, you have a choice of Salema or Cabanas Velhas, both within a few kilometers. We loved Cabanas Velhas as it is so private and has a fabulous restaurant on the beach. Lunches are amazing and their Sunday evening meal and live band is great.

Our favourite restuarants were:

O'Tiago (Budens) - Lovely family owned restaurant in the centre of Budens, just behind the Intermarche. Walking distance from villa. Amazing food and atmosphere, fabulous service. Try the steak on the hot stone!!

Aqua na Boca (Salema) - Large airy restaurant with beautiful fish.

Esquina (Burgau) - Amazing family owned restaurant in the centre of Budens. The best Cataplan ever!!

Cabanas (Prai de Cabanas Velhas) - Amazing restaurant set right on the beach. Try the chicken kebab with rice and corn - delicious!! The burgers are also fab.

The Dophin (Luz) - Fabulous South African restaurant in the centre of Luz. Try the ribs. They are the best!!
